DON’T Let Your Wounds WIN // Death, Defeated (Part 3) // Pastor Drew

🔥 "Jesus doesn’t look at your scars and see a reason to disqualify you; He sees a story of redemption. He kept His own scars after the resurrection to show us that our deepest hurts can actually become our greatest testimonies." — Pastor Drew We’ve all got them—scars that tell a story. Whether they are physical marks from a childhood bike wreck or deeper emotional wounds we’ve carried for years, it’s so easy to let those past hurts define who we are today. In this message, Pastor Drew looks at why Jesus chose to keep His scars even after He rose from the grave. We often think we have to be "perfect" or "healed up" before God can use us, but the Gospel shows us the opposite. Today, we’re talking about how to stop identifying with our wounds and start walking in the healing that only comes from the Savior. If you've ever felt like your past makes you "damaged goods," this one is for you. ------------------------------------------------ 📖 Scripture References John 20 : 19-29 – Jesus shows His hands and side to the disciples. https://www.bible.com/bible/59/JHN.20.19-29.ESV Psalm 147 : 3 – The promise that He binds up our wounds. https://www.bible.com/bible/59/PSA.147.3.ESV Isaiah 53 : 5 – Finding our peace through His sacrifice. https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ISA.53.5.ESV ------------------------------------------------ 00:00 - Every Scar has a Story: Lessons from a Paper Boy 06:12 - 1,993 Years Later: Why Jesus Kept His Scars 10:53 - Acknowledging the Pain: Your Hurt is Real 15:45 - The Healing Process: Don't Get Stuck in the Wound 25:40 - You are Not Your Diagnosis: Finding a New Identity 33:40 - Trading Your Mess for a Testimony 37:15 - Seeing God’s Power: A Story of Real Restoration 41:15 - Finding Freedom at the Foot of the Cross ------------------------------------------------ For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomaha We'd love to hear from you!
